Overview

Warning: This book contains extreme weirdness. Read at your own risk. Discover 101 wild and weird Grand Canyon National Park facts for kids - made for every canyon-obsessed kid (and adult). The Grand Canyon is famous for its jaw-dropping size, striped red walls, and mile-deep views... but that's just the surface. This book dives into the strange, surprising, and totally unforgettable facts most visitors never hear - the weird science, ancient history, and ""you've gotta be kidding me"" moments hiding inside one of the most extraordinary places on Earth. Inside, you'll discover shark teeth embedded in rock in the middle of the Arizona desert, a squirrel that is slowly evolving into a new species because it can't cross the canyon, lava dams taller than the Empire State Building that once blocked the Colorado River, a hidden lodge at the bottom of the canyon you can only reach by foot, mule, or raft, and rock so old it formed before animals even had eyes.
